Cape Alitak

Cape Alitak is a narrow headland on the south side of Kodiak Island in the Kodiak Archipelago, bordered by Alitak Bay, Shelikof Strait, Sitkinak Strait, and the saltwater lagoon of Rodman Reach. It is significant as an archaeological landscape with an exceptional concentration of prehistoric petroglyphs showing animals, people, and geometric designs, evidence of a long human presence on this exposed coast. In 2011, archaeologists from Kodiak's Alutiiq Museum documented thirteen distinct petroglyph sites and found signs of prehistoric habitation. The petroglyph sites were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
